The Sprout Touring Film Festival showcases inspirational movies by and about people with developmental disabilities, and as the festival heads to town, we explore some of the cinematic highlights with Sprout director Anthony DiSalvo and Kate McGuire of The Arc Baltimore.

Ptolemy Slocum wanted to profess his love to his sweetheart, and he thought the most romantic possible place would be at the top of the Empire State Building.  We’ll hear him share the fantasy – and the reality – at the Stoop Storytelling Series.

Arthur Magida talks about his book, The Nazi Séance: The Strange Story of the Jewish Psychic in Hitler’s Circle. It’s the tale of a celebrated clairvoyant who let his ambition blind him to the realities of life in Berlin during the 1930’s.
